Natura Siberica BB Correcting Cream £8.99 Sample Review

 

As we get older and fine lines and wrinkles develop, we should step away from the heavy foundation. Whilst good for a photo-shoot, in natural daylight they emphasise those lines and end up 'caking' around the face. 

To retain that glow of youthfulness we should instead be looking out for lighter radiance creams, that give that an inner glow to the skin, a plumpness and this is where 'BB' creams come in to play. So what does the BB stand for? BB is a beauty balm, one of the first to hit the markets was Clarins Beauty Flash Balm and since then most brands have brought out their own version. Different from CC creams that are more corrective, BB creams aim is to just give a veil of colour, almost to blur out imperfections but not cover them over. However, unlike a foundation many come armed with active ingredients to promote good skin health.

Natura Siberica BB Correcting Cream is full of ingredients that make it just as much of a skin treatment, as a skin cosmetic. Ingredients include:-

• Pinus Siberica Seed oil -  extracted from the Siberian pine tree, this oil is regenerative, helps promote cellular skin turnover, repairs and nourishes dehydrated skin. 
• Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract - ant-bacterial and anti-fungal, often used to help calm redness and treat eczema. 
• Aralia Mandshurica Leaf/Stem Extract - skin toning, contains vitamin C that aids as an anti-inflammatory. 
• Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract - Sage leaf extract, this helps tone the skin and can minimise the look of large pores. 

The cream contains many more active ingredients however, it's how it feels on the skin that's important. I suffer with dehydrated and dry skin, this sunk in and left it lightly moisturised but with that radiance. It's not a highlighter, nor a shimmer but just gives it that gentle glow (as you can see from the photo).

It immediately gave that light blurring effect, almost like placing a filter on the face. It left no greasy residue but as you can see by my cheeks just gives that dewy finish. You can mix it with your foundation too however, I liked it simply on it's own. Sometimes these creams fail to give enough hydration but for me, this was perfect as gave just the right amount of moisture. 

For under £10 it easily rivals other high end brands on the market. Check it out here at www.naturasiberica.co.uk
